Description

Toceranib Combination Therapy in Canine Cancers Many if not most “targeted” therapies may have their best efficacy when combined with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. However, these types of combinatorial studies often occur relatively late in the development pathway in human oncology. Owing to a relaxed standard of care and a lack of reimbursement issues, these types of combinatorial studies can be performed relatively early in canine cancer. This 30 minute lecture will summarize the studies performed to date utilizing the tyrosine kinase inhibitor toceranib in combination with conventional therapies for canine cancers.
